Went to Freddy’s and only had $1.50 and was just gonna get some applesauce. Server said not to worry about it and gave me a free meal. Made my day.

Love servers like this. I used to serve at an Applebee’s for about a year and a lot of us did stuff like this, particularly on lunch shifts.

A lady came in and simply asked for water, so I gave her some chips and dips to go with it. She asked me to sit with her and, since it was the afternoon shift and we were always dead at that time (oddly), I figured why not. I only had like one or two other tables. So I sat with her and ended up spending my whole shift listening to her tell me about her now ex-husband and all the ways she loved him and bent over backwards for him and he still cheated on her because she was “too fat and old.” The guy, if I remember correctly, was many years OLDER than her. It was a pretty intense four hours. I decided to buy her some sangrias. I paid for the first two out of my own pocket and, upon realizing what I was doing, the bartender said he’d take care of the rest of her drinks.

We cried together and we laughed together and it was the best shift I ever had. She kept asking if I thought she was ugly and old and, to be quite honest, I thought she was gorgeous inside and out. She was a beautiful, resilient, kind, and caring woman. I learned so much about her and I never asked for her name. She left in tears, saying that my coworkers and I made it a day she’d never forget.

I seriously have never seen her again. Not for the rest of my days at Applebee’s, nor afterwards around town. She didn’t tell me where she was from or where she was going, but I hope that wherever she went she went happily.

Yeah but their frozen custard tho. Freddy's doesn't even have to advertise. Those who know, know.

We have a Freddys in Australia that uses the exact same font but sells outdoor/adventure gear. Owned by one of the biggest companies in the country.

I've been a manager at Freddy's for a while and this is not unheard of. We value guests and really try to go out of our way to make them happy with occasional free meals etc. Of course it isn't what always happens but we try. That's what really seperates us from steak and shake. They treat their managers with the same great service with nice benefits

If Freddy's corporate sees this...

This is GOOD PR. Let it be, or give the manager a raise.

It would be stupid of you to investigate/fire this employee over GOOD PR.

That is all.

40 cents for large fries and 20 cents for a large drink? The fuck?

Well that’s just awesome. What kind of place is it? A burger joint? I’ve never heard of them, I’m out East, but I’m in Houston a lot and will give them a shot if I see one. Seems like they’re a chain based in the Southwest.

Hey I work at Freddy's and that's not very uncommon actually, the whole point if the restaurant is to treat guests very well.

That's sweet, but next time if you want applesauce, do look at a grocery if you can. I don't know where you live but where I am a medium sized jar is right about a dollar. Then you will have enough for probably 2 servings.
